What part of a spark plug is platinum?
A platinum spark plug is similar to a copper spark plug, except that its center electrode has a platinum disc which is welded to its tip area. The copper spark plug only has nickel alloy material in this area. As a result, the platinum spark plug is more durable and can last as many as 100,000 miles.
Which is better spark plug copper or nickel?
Because nickel alloy is softer than iridium and platinum, copper plugs wear out sooner than precious metal plugs. (Many have a recommended service interval around 30,000-50,000 miles). For this reason, copper plugs are best used in older vehicles with low-voltage, distributor-based ignition systems.
